Best part is, it has an "E" date code!

Yep, WSM number 11 is a 1983 model 1880!

Pics to come!

I gave a hundred for it.
It was more than I wanted to spend, but it was the first 1880 I've seen on CL and I wasn't about to lose it.

That will clean up nicely Clark. I looked for one for a long time before I bought the new 14.5. Besides the wooden handle and the grommet probe port
I wonder what the differences are. They are the perfect size for me, and love the portability. What will your first cook be?
